Pet care experience

Home all day to spoil your furbaby!

We are excited to spoil your pup with love and attention! My husband, Dave, and I live in a spacious house in Portland (North Deering) on a quiet, dead end street. We live within walking distance to several trails, namely one that leads directly to the Quarry Run dog park and loop. We recently said goodbye to our beloved yellow lab, Dolly, so we're currently a pet-free home looking to love on your dog! I am currently working part-time and Dave works in software sales from our home office, so we're super flexible and can meet any exercise requirements your dog might need. Our 4-year-old son, Arlo, loves dogs and has been taught to be cautious around new animals (and also treat them with love and care!). We ask that your dog be comfortable around little ones before requesting to book with us. We absolutely love dogs and will take the best care of your furbaby. We're open to all dogs big or small, high or low energy, and we look forward to meeting you!

Alicia and Dave were great with Cosmo. He was very comfortable there with them and their dog, and they were great at giving him his medications. Always tough to find someone to watch these dogs with some medical issues, but they didn’t miss a beat. Loved getting the picture updates.

Lilly may have had a better vacation than we did. She was so well cared for that we swear she didn't want to come home. Thank you, Alicia, Dave and Dolly. We will see you when we plan our next trip!!!

Alicia and her husband are lovely and Henry was well cared for during his stay with her. He has made friends with their yellow lab and I have no hesitation leaving him with Alicia, except that I miss him when I do. I unequivocally recommend Alicia.

Alicia and her family including Dolly were great to take our dog into there house. No significant stress on transitions and great communication via texting throughout gave us total peace of mind.

A typical day

We live within walking distance to the Quarry Run dog park (we usually do the loop), and we also enjoy exploring some of the area beaches and trails (either on or off-leash). Our quiet neighborhood is also good for walks, plus we have an unfenced yard for potty breaks.
